that's the thing that you're going to see. I got you at the
building and see what I suppose I've been doing is going straight there me. I don't got you in the building. Ocho, see, that's the thing. There you go, T. I got you in the building and see what I suppose I'd have been doing
is going straight there. Me, I done got you in the
building and I got both of us caught.
I got both.
I done got both of us caught. Ocho, you
posed nude to support Peter years ago?
Would you pose nude? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For a good cause? I posed nude,
boy. I posed nude years ago,
boy, you know? You know? And it
was easy for me, you know, I for me. Then there was a little controversy because
I posed new for Peter. Then boom, people were getting on me about me using the football to
cover the three inches. It was like, well, damn, ain't the football pigskin? They got on me heavy,
so it was kind kind of contradictory yeah
I couldn't do it
I couldn't do it because they say man
you got an elephant in the head
hey
matter of fact I'm so glad
somebody bought that Peter ad I need to get
that Peter ad
blown up
how did that come about
I can't remember this was a long time ago That Peter ad, I need to get that Peter ad blown up. How did that come about?
How did that come about?
I can't remember.
Oh, this was a long time ago.
This was a long time ago.
I'm talking about this might have been in my prime.
I don't even know what year that was.
Hey, somebody in the chat, one of the ladies in the chat, send me that picture of that Peter ad to my Twitter because I ain't seen it in years.
So I could take that to Kinko's and get that blown up so I could put it in my
game room. I don't think Real never
seen that. When Real see that, well, she might
fall back in love.
Fall back in love?
Because she ain't never seen that side of me.
Ocho, you weighed 36 pounds.
Would you stop
saying that, man, for people to really think I was that
little? I played at 215.
I was at 215, too.
Ocho ain't never been 215
in his life, Gil.
With the pads on or off?
Off. I was
rocked up. Pads
and a 25-pound weight. I put him at
205.
Yeah, I was
215. I was 6'3", 215, man.
4'2", 4'1", 4-2, 4-1, 40.
Oh, Lord.
Now, you just told everybody your 40 time was why you went in the second round.
Now you ran 4-2?
No, the reason I went in the second round is because I bounced around from school to school,
and it was too many red flags.
That's why.
Too many red flags.
I went to 30-11 schools before I even got drafted.
Bro.
31.
Look here.
Eric Swann was in the semi-league.
That joke went in the first round.
Top five pick.
What year that was?
What year, Swann?
Come on.
96.
That's why.
2001.
2001.
Man, hey, listen.
They went and talked to my teachers in elementary school.
I mean, what does it matter what I did in elementary school going into the draft in 2001?
That made no sense to me.
Actually, they went out.
Elementary school?
Ocho, when I'm investing that count, let me ask you a question.
If somebody said, Ocho, I got a deal and I need
you to invest $10 million, I need you to invest $20 million,
$30 million, you going to take their word for it
or what? Are you going to do some background checking?
Do me a favor. I'm just asking, Ocho.
I understand. I understand doing a background
check. Please explain to me
how talking to my elementary
teachers in 1985,
1984, whatever it may be,
what does that have to do with anything?
Was he disruptive?
Did he steal?
Who wasn't disruptive in elementary?
Of course I was.
A lot of kids weren't disruptive, Ocho.
Show me somebody in elementary school
that wasn't disruptive in any kind of way.
Show me somebody in elementary school
that instilled something in some kind of way.
My brother. I don't get that instills something in some kind of way. My brother?
I really don't get that either.
Like, I was stealing
because I'm broke. Once you left me, I ain't
broke no more. So I don't need
to steal. So that don't even
matter.
First of all, Gil, Gil, you
had a mom and a dad. You middle class. You ain't
broke. You good. We'd rob you.
Me and Oo would rob you
but i'm just saying the stuff they be asking like you if you drive me all these problems go away
my mom now now some of the stuff i will i will concede some of the stuff that they ask goes
overboard ridiculous now they you heard the story about about uh blackman from uh uh
justin black justin black yeah they went down one one gm says he went to oklahoma state he didn't
know who he was right he said he was in a bar he went to this bar five days in a row. Guess who was in the bar having a drink every day that he was there?
Ocho, tell the people who got – who's out of the league because why?
Hey, you know what?
That's why you – that's why you –
Jacksonville Justin Blackman.
Yes.
The issue that he had at Oklahoma State,
Jacksonville didn't do their homework.
One team did their homework, took him off their board.
When you invest that kind of money, it's just like you probably,
if you're going to invest that kind of time and energy and money
in a young lady, in today's time
you better go do some background.
I mean, today you do have to
go back to elementary school.
Now you got to go back to elementary
school just to make sure
what it was then.
Oh, there you go, Kiffy.
There we go. We got to move the conversation along.
We got to move the conversation along on you. I, there you go, Gil. See? There we go. We got to move the conversation along. We got to move the conversation along, Ocho.
I ain't fooling with Gil.
Man, I ain't fooling with Gil.
I'm just saying.

That's a good one.
That's a good one.

What the hell are you talking about?
Hey, one thing about you.
I was here when I was well, now.
Hey, I tell you, they voted me America's Sexiest Man Alive in 2005.
2005?
Yeah, Sexiest Man Alive.
It wasn't nothing like me.
I was Maurice Chestnut before Maurice Chestnut.
I was Blair Underwood before Blair Underwood.
Wait, hold on.
Because we got drafted.
You said 2005?
No, no, I'm saying I got drafted in 2001. It wasn't until I came into myself
and puberty hit.
Then I became the sexiest man alive
for like a year.
After that, that shit fell.
I fell off after that.
Yeah, you might have been.
Okay, I was just checking
because I was back then.
It was...
I was sexy in 46 states.
Yeah, yeah, they banned me. Y'all already know. 46 states. Yeah.
Yeah.
They banned me.
Y'all already know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, 46?
46.
I was still working on the other ones.
Oh, man.
Oh, that's a good one.
Man, y'all need help.
I can play for the Marlins right now.
Now that I think about it.
Look at my technique.
You can't see my whole body, but you can see I know what I'm doing, though.
What you think?
No.
You scared of that ball.
Who?
You.
Oh, listen, I hit 90, 100- 90 hundred mile an hour ball with ease, man.
I got hand-eye coordination.
How do you think I put it?
I tell you what.
You won't even put your bat on the hundred mile an hour ball.
Oh, you won't bet nothing?
I go record it tomorrow.
I go to the batting cage tomorrow and show you.
Mm-mm.
You ain't going to do it.
Let's bet.
Let's bet.
We bet.
Okay, bet.
You won't put one ball in play. Okay. You might stick your bat out there and it's going to end. No,'s bet. Let's bet. We bet. Okay, bet. You won't put one ball in play.
You might stick your bat out there and it'll go in.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You better do your homework now.
Do your homework now.
I can play some baseball.
Don't do that.
You ain't never played no baseball.
Who?
You.
You ain't never played no baseball.
I played baseball in college.
I almost got drafted.
Yeah, to the military.
No, to the...
They were looking for a few good means.
That was the only draft
you're going to be a part of.
Man, please.
I mean, Ocho,
the thing is
is that what you have to understand.
Eight hours to go.
Baseball,
baseball is a sport.
Like, you can play,
guys can play like,
you heard guys, well, like Olajuwon didn't play basketball,
but like his 11th and 12th grade year,
maybe his 12th grade year.
And guys play football, play one year of football.
Baseball, you better come up at five years old
from looking and seeing them balls.
That ain't no sport that you just pick up at 15, 16
and say, yeah, I'm going to be a pro.
Hell no.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
I respect every sport.
And it kind of makes me sad sometimes
when you don't believe how good I am
at certain sports.
I believe you're good.
In high school,
in high school,
at Miami Beach Senior High,
I played baseball.
I was considered almost
going into the first round,
but I chose to play football instead.
I was a five-tooler.
No.
I was a five-tooler.
I was a five-tooler in high school.
That's how good I was.
What are the five-tools?
Dude,
what you mean what are the five-tools?
I was a slugger
outfield you couldn't get that i would like shit i used to pitch too i would like shayho ohtani
in high school i did everything i i bullshit you so so in other words you can hit for power
hit for average yes yeah i did everything. Cash throat.
Cash throat, man.
Listen, everything.
I was a five-tooler.
Hey, no.
I promise you.
I was finna get drafted to the Baltimore Orioles.
Oh, Lord.
Ocho.
Like I'm saying,
I mean, think about it.
Think about how hard it is.
There have not been a whole lot of guys.
That's why you think people give
Prime and Bo so much credit.
Yes, sir. Because it's so
hard to do that. Very, very, very.
Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray was the number one
overall pick in football. He was
the number eight pick in baseball.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Brian Jordan. I don't know if you remember
Brian Jordan. He played safety. He
ended up, he was a safety for the Falcons,
a pro bowler.
He gave it up and turned,
and he played probably 15 years for the Cardinals.
I don't know if all the years, but a lot of the years,
bro, that baseball is a different animal.
Think about Ocho.
Think about this year.
You hit 300.
You're going to be a Hall of Famer.
Where else can you fail?
You can be successful three out of ten times.
Imagine if you caught three out of ten balls that were thrown to you.
Or you made three out of ten shots.
You'd be at home on the couch.
So that lets you know just how hard baseball is.
Mm-hmm.
Man, hell.
Hey, I ain't going to lie to people.
I was scared of the ball.
So that was my – And plus, baseball was summer.
It wasn't that we didn't have no traveling.
I had to work.
Mary Porter said, you were hitting them fields.
Yeah, yeah.
He didn't hit no baseball.
He hit them fields.
And I'm cool with that.
Plus, Ocho, you go from football to basketball,
basketball to track.
Track. You had another month of school
and as soon as we got out of school, we're
in the fields. Yeah, yeah.
Ain't no time for no baseball, no damn baseball.
Baseball and track overlap.
Yeah. Damn, I wish
you could have saw me. Boy, I'm
telling you. Hey,
I wish you could have saw me pitch
boy back then, boy. Pitch what?
Oh, Lord have mercy.
You heard me?
Yeah, I heard you. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I'm trying to get my camera.
See my technique.
See that? Yeah, I see that.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,

Please do.

like that I don't like when you do me like that.
I don't like when you do me like that.
I got to keep you realistic.
Hold on.
So I can't play tennis either, huh?
You see me play tennis?
No.
No, you can't.
Okay.
No.
You not returning one service.
Just because you can't do it don't mean I can't.
You can't return one.
Listen.
Listen, Ung, there are clips of me doing everything you're saying I can't do,
which makes no sense.
I tell you what, you not returning one professional tennis player served.
You said respect their sport, so I wouldn't be playing on a professional level then.
So what are we talking about?
We're talking about just playing the game.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, I can do that.
I can go out in that shoe.
I can do all that, yeah.
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
No, you can't. No, you can't. No, you can't.
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
Matter of fact, I can go play right now.
I can go right now and make the Miami open.
Miami open what?
The Miami open.
In tennis?
Yes.
Right now, at 56, I can go play for y'all.
Matter of fact,
I can go play for Napoli
in Naples, Italy,
right now,
coming off the bench.
No.
Yes.
You'll never see no action.
Yeah.
I'm going to see action.
Ocho.
Ocho.
He's mad talking about Ocho.
Yeah.
Because you said you was going to be able
to play professionally.
I'm talking about professionally.
I didn't say professionally, though.
I was just talking about
I'm really good at the thing that I take seriously. Oh didn't say professionally though. I would just talk about it. I'm really
good at the thing that I take serious.
Oh yeah, you go out there and play the old people. There's a lot of old people
down in Miami. I don't play old people. I play the
younger folks to let them know how good I am
despite my age.
Oh Lord. Yeah.
That's what I do.
Yeah, man. Man, Ocho. You got the people to leave it up, man. I believe Ocho
you got the people
believe it up man
I believe Ocho
could play
I can
I can
if you
see you don't
pay attention
to what I be doing man
it's what I do
oh lord have mercy
I was at a
celebrity tennis tournament
with Andre Agassi and
Pete Sanford
you not hitting that ball
man that ball
have you ever seen a professional
tennis match have you ever seen
I go to the Miami Open every year
I know what it look like
bro
listen do you know
I'm my hidden partner?
I'm Chris Eubanks' hidden partner.
Like I said,
I'm being honest.
I'm Chris Eubanks' hidden partner.
So the fact that I know what it looks like,
I can return.
I can do all that.
I mean, you wouldn't
have been able to hit or return Venus Lips Arena,
let alone the million.
Man, I'm talking, man.
Listen, man.
So you disrespected my skill, man.
No, no, no, no.
You over-evaluating your skill.
No, I'm not over-evaluating because I train and I practice with the pros.
That's what you fail to realize. Ocho, do you realize how many people that played sports that didn't cross over?
Like, you got two.
You got three.
You got Bo.
You got Dion.
You got Brian Jordan.
You ain't never seen nobody play professional football and basketball.
You'll never see nobody play.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I played professional soccer and football. Hey, never see nobody play... I play professional soccer and
football.
What are you thinking about?
Like,
I'm thinking about
the presidency.
I'm thinking about the two people
who are running
that we have to choose from.
And I always thought,
obviously, I'm really not into politics as heavy as I'd like.
I have family members that are.
Don Lemon, we're related.
He's into politics really good.
Mark Lamont, Anthony Hill, he's another cousin of mine.
He's really into politics.
But I would love to represent the people.
You know that?
And it's probably I'm not the right person to do so,
but I would just love to be in that position of power, you know,
to be the president.
Like, could you imagine what I could do?
You know, if I was in the highest seat.
Can you can you imagine the changes I would make?
You know, when we talk about someone representing and being for the people like that's me.
Like I live by that. Like I really live it. I don't talk it.
Like, you know, part of being part of politics is talking and selling a dream, getting people to actually vote for you. But what the people need is somebody like me that actually, you know, talk the talk and actually walks it.
I'm really like that. Like I could just imagine my my I just when it's time for me to give a speech, you know, and I and I start my speeches with, you know, for the American people.
I just want to know know I fucking love you
and then I will get into
whatever the topics are at hand like I just
I would just be perfect for that you know
I just thought about that just after
watching that ad and
I don't know man
damn
the thing is Ocho you got a lot
to be in politics.
And you said you're going to be for the people.
But the thing is that you need those big donors.
Oh, I got donors.
So what you think they want to return?
Hold on.
What you think they want to return?
Oh, yeah.
I got them.
I got them.
I got them.
One hand rubbed the other, man.
I understand the political game very well, now. But this is the problem. The people don't understand it.
I don't think the people understand it. Now, I'm not now we're not going to make this a political goddamn debate because this is nightcap.
Not not not Fox News or CNN, but, you know, I'm going to let that be.
We'll say that for another date and another...
I can get into it.
I can get into it good.
I ain't going to do that.
Love the show. Do you think you could do
225 for more refs than Ocho
could do 185?
Do you think
you could do 225 on the bench
for more refs than Ocho could do 185?
Why would he discredit me and put me at 185 when I could do 225 on the bench for more reps than Ocho could do 185. Why would he discredit me and put me at 185 when I could do 225 as well?
What is he trying to say?
But you're only going to do it for one rep.
So he's trying to give you an advantage.
225?
I could do 225 27 times.
What are you talking about?
Ocho, I tell you what I'd be willing to do.
I put up a million dollars saying you can't do 22 25 to do 27. Oh, you're going to run me
my money? You're going to run me my money?
No chance. This is
what people fail to do. People always
have an eye test. People always use the
visual. Listen to me. Stay with me
now, baby. People always use the visual and
look at something and say... You got a
t-shirt on up
under that? His frame is small.
He shouldn't be able to do this. You got a t-shirt on up under that? His frame is small. You got a t-shirt on up under that?
Yeah.
Take that off.
Let me show the people.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, y'all ladies don't be looking at me now.
Yeah.
Yeah, let me come up out this thing.
Let me come up out this thing. Let me come up out this thing.
Yeah, you see that?
Look at that.
Look at that.
I do.
I just look like this.
I just look like this.
I have a small frame, but I'm strong.
Huh?
You ain't doing no 225.
How you going to tell me and I've done it?
I've done 225 27 times.
No. I just look like this. Hey, pull up Ocho. I'll tell you what we can do.? I've done 225 27 times. No.
I just look like this.
Hey, pull up, Ocho.
I'll tell you what we can do.
We can pull up what you did at the Combine.
What is the Combine?
What's the Combine?
It ain't got nothing to do with it.
You talking about right now.
Ocho, first of all, this is how I know you can't do 227.
Because when you went to the Combine, that was your opportunity.
I didn't even lift.
Let me finish.
Let me finish.
The Combine was when you're on the job interview you're gonna be at your absolute best you're gonna be at your fastest you're
gonna be at your best because that's the job interview you don't even lift like that anymore
I'm not so sure I'm not so sure you could do 225 I didn't even lift weights at the combine
all I needed to do was run
my 40 and run routes. Once they saw
my routes, that was it. That sealed the deal.
That's how I know you can't do 225
27 reps. Talk about now.
Talk about now.
Now, if you said you do 185 like
10 times, I said, okay, you might get there.
No, no, no. I'm very strong
despite my frame. I am extremely
strong.
So if you want to put that million dollars,
make sure you stand on business by that million dollars too.
Meal.
I'm going to do a video when I get back to Miami tomorrow. No, you're going to do no video.
I'm going to be there.
Bring your million with you.
I don't need no video.
I need to be there.
I don't need no video.
I don't need no video.
No, no.
I'm going to video it so you can see. I don't need no video. I don't need no video. I'm going to be right there in your presence. I'm going to video it so you can see.
I don't need no video.
I don't need no video.
I'm going to be right there in your presence.
I'm going to bring a million dollar cash.
You bring yours.
You put it right there.
Wait, what I'm taking a million out for?
Because you're going to put, you bet me a million.
Nah, you said you bet the money.
You bet the money.
Put up.
I'm putting up a million.
You put up a million.
So I'm walking away with two million. You walking away with two million. You bet the money. Put up. I'm putting up a million. You put up a million. So I'm walking away with two million.

because I got to cover her, too. So it's two million.
